The awards program<\/a>, initiated as part of the 2011 International Year of Chemistry celebrations, was created to acknowledge and promote the work of women chemists\/chemical engineers worldwide. Each year since 2011, the award has gained more attention in the community. These 12 awardees have been selected based on excellence in basic or applied research, distinguished accomplishments in teaching or education, or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in the chemical sciences. The Awards Committee has been particularly interested in nominees with a history of leadership and\/or community service during their careers. The awards will be made during the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress to be held in August 2021.<\/p>\n

Prof. Christopher Brett, President of IUPAC, commented: \u201cThe group of this year\u2019s awardees comprises highly worthy recipients from all over the world who have all made a significant contribution to advancing the chemical and chemical engineering sciences. The award has been the focus of increasing attention since its inception in 2011, the International Year of Chemistry, and that we certainly plan to continue in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/a> is a global day celebrating achievement and promoting full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. The day marks a call to action for further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. IUPAC also celebrates that day with a Global Breakfast<\/a> event on Feb 9 and with the theme of \u201cEmpowering Diversity in Science\u201d.<\/p>\n

About IUPAC:<\/em>
\nIUPAC was formed in 1919 by chemists from industry and academia. Since then, the Union has succeeded in fostering worldwide communications in the chemical sciences and in uniting academic, industrial and public sector chemistry in a common language. IUPAC is recognized as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data. In more recent years, IUPAC has been pro-active in establishing a wide range of conferences and projects designed to promote and stimulate modern developments in chemistry, and also to assist in aspects of chemical education and the public understanding of chemistry. More information about IUPAC and its activities is available at www.iupac.org.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
